Slimming Women By Ju-Jitsu.
DAY, at any hour, women who rebel against the new corset vogue are to be seen on the floor of a West End salon in London. Here a slimming expert employs fourteen young women to reduce her clients by ju-jitsu. This does not mean that a Mayfair elegante who possesses too much avoirdupois to wear a stream-line dress in comfort has to learn that intricate science. $ During her treatment of one hour eight girls take it in turns to perform the appropriate ju-jitsu movements. All that the passive victim has to do is to lie on the floor on a blanket and pillow, slacken her muscles, and submit to having her legs and arms so manipulated as to break down all her fatty tissues.
